This is what we call the wet kitchen. There is a gas stove, dishwasher and two sinks. The maid's bathroom and the maid's room where she keeps cleaning stuff is also located here. At the end you will see a door. That is where you find the shoe room. I did decide to use Mary's maid (her name is Marilyn) just four hours once a week. She does the floors, which are marble or hardwood, cleans the five bathrooms we have and does the windows. I figured since I was not working that I could do the laundry and ironing.

This is the shoe room and whatever else you want to put there. We have a front door and a back door into the apartment. As most of you know, you remove your shoes when you enter someone's home. We don't always do it at our house but this is the purpose of the shoe room. You come into the back door, leave your shoes and then go into the house. We also keep grocery bags and umbrellas here. When I head to market, I grab a bag, umbrella and my shoes. You always carry an umbrella during monsoon season which runs September through December.

When you get off the elevator this is what you see - our pool.

There is lots of security in this building.  This building is divided into four sections, A,B,C and D. Your access card will only let you in a door that takes you to your elevator. Your card will then only let you access your apartment. No one except Management can get to your apartment. You can leave your doors unlocked all day and it does not matter. David said our pool is probably 10X10 and 4 feet deep. Every apartment has this pool or a lap pool in it.
